Blogger admits Hawaii birth certificate forgery, subverting Obama claims (Uh-oh)

Israel Insider ^ | 3 July 2008 | Reuven Koret

[SE Mom]

Jay McKinnon, a self-described Department of Homeland Security-trained document specialist, has implicated himself in the production of fraudulent Hawaii birth certificate images similar to the one endorsed as genuine by the Barack Obama campaign, and appearing on the same blog entry where the supposedly authentic document appears.

The evidence of forgery and manipulation of images of official documents, triggered by Israel Insider's revelation of the collection of Hawaii birth certificate images on the Photobucket site and the detective work of independent investigative journalists and imaging professionals in the three weeks since the publication of the images, implicate the Daily Kos, an extreme left blog site, and the Obama campaign, in misleading the public with official-looking but manipulated document images of doubtful provenance.

The perceived unreliability of the image has provoked petitions and widespread demands for Obama to submit for objective inspection the paper versions of the "birth certificate" he claimed in his book Dreams from My Father was in his possession, as well as the paper version of the Certificate of Live Birth for which the image on the Daily Kos and the Obama "Fight the Smears" website was supposedly generated.

Without a valid birth certificate, Obama cannot prove he fulfills the "natural born citizen" requirement of the Constitution, throwing into doubt his eligibility to run for President.

McKinnon, who says he is 25-30 years old, operates a website called OpenDNA.com and uses the OpenDNA screen name on various web sites and blogs, including his comments and diary on The Daily Kos. In recent years he has divided his time between Long Beach, California and Vancouver, British Columbia. He is a Democratic political activist, frequent contributor to the left wing Daily Kos blog, and a fervent Barack Obama supporter.

To all

First of all I have no idea if there is any validity to the argument that Obama is not constitutionally qualified for the presidency. (That is , he does not meet the constitutional requirement of being a natural born citizen.)
However one way of forcing the issue is a series of law suits in some politically strategic states to deny him ballot access based on these arguments. Of course this would have to be done in courts where you have judges who are actually sympathetic to the Constitution. Someone should raise the money to try this. All it would take is one successful challenge.

Holy Smokin Artillery! A reader at Texas Darlin has replicated techdude’s work and has the name of the woman..Scroll down to the comments by KG

(also pinging FRiends from TGO thread earlier this evening)

I just read that and saw TD’s note to KG to read his email. She’s not saying for sure on the blog. Really? Could Maya be the one? Oops...sorry, Barack IS the One :-)

[SE Mom]

Well- KG says that what he/she found as a name- TD hasn’t confirmed it yet though..but the way KG describes it seems clear.

Barry’s sister, Maya ( Kassandra Soetoro)

I’m off to bed for now. I’ll pick up the saga early in the morning!

[Miss Didi]

We’ll wake you if something breaks. ;)

Dust mites. Dust mites dancing on the scanner glass. They were doing the dust mite hula. They always spell out Maya’s name. It’s strictly accidental, or rather natural. Rather natural.

Forensics specialist Techdude, who has been chipping away at the Obama Birth Certificate mystery for some time, has confirmed that the name on the original Certificate of Live Birth (COLB) which was used to forge the document presented by Barack Obama as his valid Birth Certificate IS:

Maya Kassandra Soetoro.

*Breaking* Sister Maya’s Birth Certificate Used to Forge Obama’s

Family of Barack Obama.WIKI-LINK.

Maya Soetoro-Ng (born Maya Kassandra Soetoro, August 15, 1970 in Jakarta, Indonesia) Barack Obama's half-sister.[3] Soetoro-Ng is a high-school teacher at La Pietra: Hawaii School for Girls in Honolulu, Hawaii, and teaches night classes at the University of Hawaii.

Barack was Born in 2 Hospitals, Sister Maya was Born Twice! link.

[NOTE: When originally published, readers interpreted this document to be a birth record. It is NOT. It's a vital records report that shows where she currently resides, NOT where she was born. It was used only to show the conflicting birth DATE.]

HOW CAN MAYA HAVE A HAWAII CoLB IF SHE WAS BORN IN INDONESIA?

what are we dealing with - a forgery of a forgery?

[bvw]

Bttt

[SE Mom]

I don’t know- something is weird here. Wasn’t Maya born in Indonesia? How could she have a Hawaii COLB in the first place?

[bvw]

Practice.

[Calpernia]

LOL!

[Calpernia]

Makes one look at this picture of Obama Snr's HI graduating class even CLOSER. Is the woman, front center in the black dress Janice Okubo?

The Plot Thickens

[SE Mom]

That’s hard to say- looking at that pic and current ones of her..

It’s all too weird. Something is bizarre because Maya was born in Indonesia.

A classic Hawaiian shirt can cost $5000 or more. Hows that for laid back?

Bill Clinton: "I think everybody's got a right to run for president who qualifies under the Constitution. And I'd be the last person to begrudge anybody their ambition."

This jumped out at me too--and I've not been particularly fixated on the birth certificate story. Knowing how clinton loves his oblique word games, the particular phraseology does get the antennae going doesn't it?--particularly when coupled with his reply to the question about regrets over the campaign. Yes, he says. He does have regrets, but clarifies, saying they're not the things you might think. Then: "There are things I wish I’d urged her to do...” This is very specific, not a general wistfulness. And seeing the footage, you can tell he's struggling to hold back. He's dying to spill his guts. It has the ring of regret for not playing certain cards they had. Whether it's the birth certificate or not, they've got something.

THat phrase hit me too. Something may be up. What he did was diss Obama, why would he do that? Sour grapes? I doubt it. He feels free to diss him. I swear, I am not a cospiracy sort of person, but something smells rotten with that statement.
